As a second car to my WRX STI Type R, a 1991 H Saab 9000s - low mileage (120k) cost £900 - and do you know what - I can't find one single damned thing wrong with it. Everything works, it starts, stops doesn't make any funny noises and the interior looks newer than my 98 scoob... wierd or what ....

Doesn't go round the roundabouts as well though, does it !

Parts of Bletchley sucks

adamm 08 July 2002 09:28 PM

The saabs like a fish in an ice rink ... "parts" of Bletchley - methinks "most" is more appropriate ... [img]http:\\www.stupidnorthernmonkey.co.uk\images\shock ing.gif[/img]

But at least it's got a Scooby dealer now - that part is ok

adamm 08 July 2002 10:56 PM

Yeah - I blatted past there this morning - don't know if they are any good though !

adamm 09 July 2002 10:17 AM

Cool - I'll look out for you when I'm down there. Haven't been down tavistock street for a while - used to hang out with the JS racing guys way back - all gone now...

There are at least two good things in bletchley. Missions and the fishing spot just by the rugby club.

adamm 09 July 2002 10:35 AM

Ahh - you may see me down missions once in a while, got a gsxr 750 in the garage - shame I only just passed my CBT a few months ago ...

Adamm,

Your not the only Saab fan here. Shunty got one recently and I got my J 9000XS about 6 mths ago.

Great second cars. Everything the Scoob aint :D

Ian

ps don't forget that TSL is Trent Saab Ltd

adamm 09 July 2002 02:23 PM

Ahh cool - this is my first SAAB, as I said before, for a car that was so cheap I couldnt find one single fault (ok the crank case cover has a slight oil leak - big deal)..


shunty 09 July 2002 09:59 PM

Mine has 135k on it and is as sound as. Just needs the aircon fixing (not a major trauma but the condenser is blown) and it'll be perfect.

Cost bugger all, runs a treat. Not fast, doesn't handle especially well, but almost zero depreciation, loads of space, 35mpg, and it's got the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. Oh, and it cost, effectively, £1350.

Cheers to Paul @ TSL, both for the car and for fitting some awesomely powerul brakes. Kick up some dust, but boy, do they stop the car!
